Because You Kissed Me In the Dark

Because you kissed me in the dark
And with my eyes closed
(Closed because you asked me,
For a moment,
To close them)
That kiss does not exist.

And because you held my hand
In another room
We do not talk about it.
It’s as though it never happened,
Because it happened somewhere else,
And that was not a metaphor
